BIKE NEW YORK ( Five Boro Bike Tour )

One of the largest fun-ride events on the planet, with nearly 40,000 riders participating in Manhattan, New York. Starting in Manhattan, the tour will travel from Sixth Avenue through Central Park to the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn, and then to Statin Island, the festival site. This is why they call it the "FIVE BORO BIKE TOUR." The 40-mile (64 km) course, with few ups and downs and plenty of aid stations, is a great way to enjoy New York City to the fullest. This is a very satisfying event that allows you to ride through New York City in May in a fresh, city-like atmosphere.

Brooklyn’s popular cycling route, Prospect Park

Prospect Park in Brooklyn is a 585-acre park that opened in 1867.

During the autumn season, in particular, visitors can enjoy its especially beautiful scenery with foliage.  If you’re biking from Manhattan, you can get there by crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, which is also very popular for walking! A dedicated bike lane is set between the pedestrian walkway and the roadway for cars. Once you’ve crossed the Brooklyn Bridge, it’s about a 20-minute ride to the entrance of Prospect Park at G […]

Where do New Yorkers buy cycling gear?

At that time, because the number of people buying bicycles suddenly increased, there was a situation where there was no inventory and it became very difficult to buy a bicycle.  With the constantly rising costs of subway and bus fares becoming frustrating, some people have started using bicycles for commuting and other mobile needs. The increase in the number of Citi Bike stations—750 in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Jer […]

Falling in Love with New York Vol.6
It was the ride of a lifetime.

Everyone has a place they dream of visiting. For me, that place has always been New York. It’s the city where Andy Warhol and Lou Reed lived, where John Lennon was tragically shot, where breakdancing was born, and where countless films have been set. In that very city, there’s a long-distance cycling event: the Five Boro Bike Tour, commonly known as Bike New York. The course spans 64 kilometers, taking riders from Manhattan through the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and finally to Staten Island. With traffic restricted, the streets are cleared of cars. The tickets sell out instantly, and with over 30,000 participants, it’s the largest cycling event in the Northern Hemisphere. Jus […]
